60-year-old driver dies after cement mixer crushed his vehicle<\/h2>\n

A 60-year-old man died on the spot after his pickup truck was crushed by an overturned cement mixer on Tuesday (10 Feb).<\/p>\n

The fatal accident happened along Jalan Deshon in the Malaysian city of Sibu in Sarawak, at around 11am.<\/p>\n

Both vehicles were travelling from Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman towards the city centre, Sin Chew Daily reported.<\/p>\n

Heavy truck lost control, overturned and collapsed on pickup truck<\/h3>\n

According to initial investigations, the two vehicles had slowed down at a red traffic light when the cement mixer suddenly lost control.<\/p>\n

The heavy truck reportedly veered towards the road divider before overturning and collapsing onto the Toyota Hilux beside it.<\/p>\n

Investigators believed that the excessive weight on the cement mixer caused it to lose balance and topple over.<\/p>\n

The pickup truck’s right side was badly crushed, subsequently trapping the driver.<\/p>\n

Victim pronounced dead after being extricated from vehicle<\/h3>\n

A spokesperson for the Sarawak Fire and Rescue Department operations centre said a distress call was received at 12.18pm.<\/p>\n

The victim was identified as Lee Teck Kee, and the 60-year-old was found unconscious inside his vehicle.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson mentioned that efforts were made to rescue the driver.<\/p>\n

However, the sheer weight and position of the cement truck “made it impossible”.<\/p>\n

A private crane was called in, but the first attempt to lift the cement mixer was unsuccessful.<\/p>\n

Only after a second crane arrived were rescuers able to move the cement mixer and extract the victim from the wreckage, according to Guang Ming Daily.<\/p>\n

Medical personnel later pronounced the victim dead at the scene.<\/p>\n

Authorities have taken over the case, while firefighters remained on site to clear debris and reopen the road before returning to the station.<\/p>\n

The case is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for causing death by reckless or dangerous driving.<\/p>\n
